I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Chapter 34 Assessment
Zhang Yuan was also moved.

He had been to the county town many times over the years, but this was the second time he saw the county government's recruitment notice.

This is just like the civil service examination in Zhang Yuan’s previous life, there must be a lot of people participating.

He was not interested in the officials and postmasters.

I'm eyeing the position of patrol officer!

The reason is simple, the benefits of being a constable in the government office are quite good, the most important of which is the ability to learn martial arts!

Previously, Zhang Yuan had inquired many times and paid some silver, and learned that if ordinary people wanted to learn real martial arts, there were four ways to choose from.

The army, government offices, gangs and martial arts schools!

There are martial arts schools in Linhe County, and there is more than one.

However, Zhang Yuan learned after inquiring that martial artists like him who have already entered the martial arts realm need to sign a contract with a martial arts school and work for the school for three years before they can receive personal instruction from the school owner.

If you don't want to sign the contract, you can just pay a high amount of tuition.

Zhang Yuan asked three martial arts schools and found that the conditions were basically the same.

But he simply couldn't afford the tuition money!

Zhang Yuan finally understood why he could not warm Gao Liehu's heart even after working for him for three years.

Because in the eyes of Gao Liehu, what he did was not worth this reward.

How could he possibly accept Zhang Yuan as his disciple?

The martial arts school route was not feasible, and Zhang Yuan had no plans to join the army, so the only options left were the government office and gangs.

That government office is definitely stronger than any gang!
Now that such an opportunity has suddenly appeared, Zhang Yuan certainly cannot miss it.

So he immediately rushed to the county government compound to register according to the regulations on the notice.

The county government compound was already packed with people. It was obvious that the appeal of taking the civil service exam was roughly the same in different worlds.

A stable job is really good!
After paying a registration fee of one or two taels of silver, Zhang Yuan successfully filled out the patrol officer assessment and received a numbered bronze medal representing his identity as a candidate.

It's quite formal.

Compared to the lowest-level police officers, the application requirements for patrol officers are much higher - one must be a martial artist who has reached the upper level of martial arts.

Zhang Yuan originally thought that there were not many people who met the requirements.

But when he arrived at the scene, he realized that this idea was too optimistic!
The patrol officer assessment is divided into three rounds: strength test, interview and martial arts test.

The first two rounds were scheduled for five days later.

After registering, Zhang Yuan returned home and concentrated on preparing for the test.

Since one is required to be a warrior, it must be a martial arts test.

Zhang Yuan’s current strength and cultivation are not a problem, but the problem is that he is not proficient in martial arts. Once he fights with others to decide the outcome, this will be his biggest weakness.

In order to make up for this weakness, Zhang Yuan practiced "Rock Posture" more diligently these days, and did not hesitate to soak in medicinal soup every day, trying his best to increase the upper limit of his Qi and blood.

His greatest reliance is the Divine Nest host. The higher his Qi and blood value, the longer the time of the extraordinary ability will be blessed.

This went on day after day, and five days passed quickly.

On the appointed day, Zhang Yuan changed into new clothes and rushed to the county government compound to take the exam.

There were already many warriors taking the test gathered in the courtyard of the county government office, and four stones were placed in the center.

Stones were used as weapons to defend the city. When the enemy approached the city wall, they would be thrown down from above.

Ordinary warriors cannot withstand the blow of the stone.

The four stones are of different sizes, and there are signs behind them indicating their weight.

They are 300 kilograms, 500 kilograms, 700 kilograms and 1,000 kilograms respectively!

Can three hundred kilograms be considered the starting standard for a strength test?
Zhang Yuan was somewhat confused.

But this did not stop him from waiting in line patiently.

When the time came, the gate of the county government was closed, and the first round of patrol assessment was officially announced to begin.

"Number one, Wang Xinming!"

As the examiner called out the names again and again, warriors came on stage one after another for the first round of strength test.

Strength is the most basic standard to test the quality of a warrior.

Warriors who take part in the assessment can challenge in sequence, so most people try the lowest level of 300 kilograms first, and then challenge 500, 700 or even 1,000 kilograms after passing it.

But there are also some people who are very confident in their own strength and start directly from 500 kilograms!
"Number 27, Zhang Yuan!" When it was Zhang Yuan's turn, he also chose 500 kilograms as the starting point.

According to the requirements of the assessment, Zhang Yuan squatted down in a horse stance, opened his arms, and hugged the stone in front of him.

The next moment, he suddenly exerted his strength to pick up the 500-jin stone and held on for ten breaths.

"clang!"

The sound of the gong indicated that Zhang Yuan had passed the first stage of the strength test.

After entering the realm of martial arts, Zhang Yuan practiced the "Panshi Zhuang Gong" diligently every day and insisted on bathing his body with medicinal soup to promote the improvement of his physique and qi and blood.

During this period of time, it can be said that great results have been achieved.

At present, Zhang Yuan can still burst out a force of more than 500 kilograms without the help of the Divine Nest.

So this level is not difficult.

He patted the stone powder on his hands and stood in front of the second 700-jin stone.

This time, Zhang Yuan quietly activated the host, adding double the power of the black giant ant to himself.

His strength instantly rose to over a thousand pounds.

Seven hundred kilograms of stone was easily taken down!
Under the surprised gazes of the crowd, Zhang Yuan continued to challenge the 1,000-jin stone.

In the county government compound, everyone's attention was focused on him.

"rise!"

Holding the largest stone tightly, Zhang Yuan exhaled suddenly and spoke, the muscles in his arms swelled at the same time.

The thousand-pound stone was then lifted three feet off the ground!
The crowd went wild.

"incredible!"

"It's true that heroes emerge from youth. Whose family is this boy from?"

"A thousand pounds of strength, the peak of dark energy!"

"I don't think he has the Dark Force cultivation. I think he is born with divine power."

“That’s pretty amazing too!”

The warriors present were talking about it, and some were whispering to each other.

Shock, astonishment, envy, jealousy...

Everyone looked at Zhang Yuan with complicated eyes, some of which were quite unfriendly.

There is no doubt that Zhang Yuan is one of the most capable among all those taking part in the patrol assessment this time!

When the time came, Zhang Yuan put down the heavy stone.

Then he got a sheet with "Grade A" stamped on it and went to a wing room beside the compound.

Accept the second round of interview.

After a cup of tea, Zhang Yuan, who was originally full of confidence, walked out of the room with a confused look on his face.

The second round of interviews was conducted by three examiners, who asked Zhang Yuan many questions in turn.

Including his date of birth, place of origin, family situation, etc.

The questions were quite detailed.

The last examiner gave a "C" rating, and two gave the worst "D" rating.

The combined score of the three was "D grade", which eliminated Zhang Yuan on the spot, and he was not even qualified to participate in the final round of martial arts test.

Even if he got "A" in the first round!
One of the examiners seemed to be reluctant and said that if Zhang Yuan was willing, the county government could directly recruit him as a constable.

If there is a chance in the future, I can still be promoted to patrol officer.

The other two examiners agreed with this, and looked as if they were rewarding Zhang Yuan for his kindness.

To be honest, Zhang Yuan really had the urge to unleash four times his strength and beat these hypocritical guys to death on the spot!

But such impulse will not solve any problems, it will only put him in an irretrievable situation.

So Zhang Yuan held his breath and politely declined the other party's seemingly well-intentioned proposal.

I left the county government office in a depressed mood.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, a voice came from behind: "Brother, please wait a moment!"
